Need a New SUV

By fahdeen

Hello all....I'm thinking of getting a new SUV...I have 4 options....
1) Porsche Cayenne (Cayenne S)
2) Range Rover
3) GMC Acadia
4) BMW X5

I want to know which is good, which has good Maintenance record and also about the after sales service each company offers. Also if possible information about the mileage of each vehicle?

I would have included a Land Cruiser....but there are tooo many of them on the road.....

Also I'm open to any other options....

I also want a smaller SUV in the same range as Honda CRV.

Thanks

Hold me tight, nice budget lol

but let me support your back a little

1st of all

for performance nothing like a (Jeep Grande SRT) the fastest ever & can be Upgraded (Light Body, Strong Engine)

For Space Go blindly for (Dodge Durango)Hemi Engine 5.7 Acceleration wonderful Spare parts easy & cheap will Maintained Agency & All 130000 Q.R Third row incredible & 90 degree for the back door opening.

For Luxury go for Lincoln Navigator & keep away from everybody cars 5.4 Engine But Louse Dealer Car will stay a week to change a break Bad (not all Spare parts Available also) but nothing like this car or even come closer.

For Perfect Services go for Al-Fardan try X 6 a new era of car a (v6 5.1 s 0 to 100km) like my sport car & also the shape is dynamic, x 5 must be V8 else don`t even try to think

for the a wild man go for Porsche (Seek Gimbala it`s fully upgraded almost 750Hp but don`t think to miss with Grande SRT if it`s loaded & half your cost

Escalade is too tinny from inside & everywhere.

I would suggest you going for th BMW X5, it has a good resale value, and its after sales services are very good. Besides its a new look and will not change for the next coming 4-5 years. Good luck

K thank you all......I have looked at all these cars.....The thing is I want to know if there are any problems with these cars.....

I already have a Mercedes C200 Kompressor 2001 model...and i have already spent more than 50000 riyals on its maintenance.....Had lots of problems example

1) problems with breaks(when you reverse there is no break or its very less)

2) the car starts jerking suddenly...

3) noises come out from under the car occasionally

4) d doors don't lock due to which i have to use the key

5) The door handle came off a year after I bought the car

and again two years back....the plastics used in this car is so cheap a lot of it has melted and is sticky.

6) After refueling the car tells that I have to visit the filling station....The fuel gauge doesn't work....

the best part is none of these problems appear when I take the car to the Mercedes service center here. they seem to charge me(100-200QR) just for looking over the car....this car has given me a headache since a month after i bought it. Gotta get rid of this car.....Is it just me or are other mercedes owners having the same or other problems???

So in other words what i'm askin is that are there any such problems in the cars I mentioned????
